I decided to give a chance to Super Virus Defense. It was made by the brother in law of my best friend, but it was described as tower defense so it sat ignored for over a year. I play on PC, but it’s very mobile like. I’m addicted. There’s a grind element to buy upgrades, but it’s been so non mindless that it reminded me of how big companies just choose to make you suffer. Specifically, I can grind while completing higher difficulties in previous levels or by playing the endless mode.
Playing it made me want to create a post with all the Brazilian indie games that I really liked over the years.
I think any person with ability to read and follow instruction can install arch in 15 minutes (excluding waiting for things to download), there is nothing special about it.
Under Night In-Birth II [Sys:Celes] - I'm back on my bullshit again. Uzuki arc was fun, but when it comes time for bracket I gotta lock in. And by lock in, I mean still play like a clown.
Splatoon 3 - Didn't have too much time to practice this week, but had one good session. Really trying to work on more actionable callouts, coordinating with our specials and planning a push together rather than merely announcing things after they happen.
Persona 4 Golden - Still just post-Kanji dungeon. At the rate I am going I will finish this game... someday.
Summon Night: Swordcraft Story - Man, forgot how annoying it was that you have to always go for weapon breaks against bosses or else you miss their blueprint forever. Also, RHDN shutdown has me wondering, if/when the third game's translation patch ever gets finished, where do I even look to find out about it?
Slay the Spire - I can quit any time I want, I swear.
Mahjong Soul/Riichi City/IRL mahjong - Came dangerously close to losing my Master 1 rank on Soul, but got a few wins so I'm safeish now. I know I'm too reckless and I'm trying to work on that. I did play one of the best games I've had at club this week, had the discipline to fold several tempting hands and it turned out to be correct every time. Sometimes protecting second place through smart play is more satisfying than lucking into first.
I’d never really considered how voting works when you’re living in another country but still have citizenship. Do you only get to vote in national elections?
This may change with the country but generally speaking, it’s a little more complicated than voting from home. You have to go to your nearest embassy to fill papers and anounce that you will be voting in country X a few months prior to the ellection.
Embassies usually get just a few ballot boxes when not only one, so you can expect a few thousands or so voting in the same box, which makes horrendous queues.
Some “more civilized” Countries also offer more efficient ways to vote when you are abroad, like voting through mail. Which is nice.
Calling the AP US government shills or the government shills shills?
I’ll say it. The US government should keep its piehole shut and let the international media, like the AP, handle this one, the evidence is damning by all accounts and their contributions to any discourse on South American elections are a negative.
Nah homie, there is just no other country in the world that can project power at the distance and scale that the US can. Not our fault y’all are weak AF.
Exactly what we are currently doing. Provide an incentive for free and fair elections. If the election is proven to be stolen then I’d assemble a coalition of local forces to oppose Maduro. Hopefully backed up by other regional players.
Otherwise you’ll see more aggression from dictators like him. Venezuela getting aggressive with more than one regional neighbor like Guyana could be the outcome if Maduro isn’t checked.
There’s also all of these communities on Reddit if you’re truly unhappy that the volunteer owned and run social media you signed up for isn’t being astroturfed with US-Israeli state press releases.
As I said, feel free to log into Reddit dot com if your goal is to experience the internet fed to you by the US state department. Spamming muh tiannamen or muh russia when you’re clearly fine with SOME war crime denialism is the sign of a mind that clearly isn’t ready to graduate from the funko pop subreddit.
No longer using Arch, but I can tell you what I liked about it:
it basically only does what you explicitly tell it to, making the setup very flexible. There’s no stuff the OS hides behind its own tools really (resulting in little to none “DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE” situations).
It is very up to date and the rolling release generally works well, there’s no pain with changing releases or anything.
The package manager, including creating your own packages, is dead easy and fast. Caveat is that once you look deeper into it, it gets more complex as you need to keep a container for clean building around. Still, with the right tooling, it’s very manageable.
As already mentioned, the documentation is very good.
Packages are very close to upstream, in most cases just being something like “./configure; make; make install”.
What do you mean by people being obsessed over Arch?
Archlinux is Linux, it’s just a minimal distro that allows you to only use whatever you want to use. I have no idea what’s with being obsessed over it other than «use arch btw» which became a local meme recently.
Fresh packages all the time without any hassle or snaps/flatpak/appimages, and theoretically never needs to be reinstalled. What’s not to love.
OP was pretty fucking snarky though, ngl. Some of us enjoy using arch based distros without being walking memes, and far more people complain about people talking about arch than actually talk about arch these days.
afiak the prase “i use arch btw” is mostly sarcasm,
instead of genuine appreciation.
its mocking the stereotype of arch users that constantly bring it up to sound smart or feel supperior.
think of arch like “vintage car culture” with a touch of minimalism.
its restricting and breaks all the time,
but thats kinda the point because fixing it becomes a part of your lifestyle.
I also feel like it "breaking all the time" was part of the stereotype itself. I stopped using Arch because it was stable for almost 3 years and part of the point of using it in the first place was learning Linux by fixing stuff that broke - except that stuff never broke so I grew bored of it.
There is no such thing as immutable or uncorruptable OS. My late father would always find a way to fuck up the laptop I setup for him. He would even come back with errors that I’ve seen for the first time and our conversation would go like this:
Me: How did this happen? My Father: how should know? It was like this when I turned it on. Me: what did you do before you turned it off last time? My Father: I was on Facebook, played some backgammon and watched some YouTube. Me: …
I miss him and I would gladly give everything to have him bother me with his laptop problems one more time. I hope that he is getting some good support where ever he is.
Let me ask you… Why would you do something like that? I mean, Arch is just a piece of software, why would you wanna be obsessed with or turn it your personality?
Don’t you have anything more meaninful to worry about?
